4 thoughts on “Indiana counting on more data to help bring down chronic absenteeism

  1. Just what we need is lawmakers getting involved in education. We need to have trained professionals (like the DOE before it became a watered down political appointment) determine the root cause and provide actions not only for law makers but for school districts as well.

    1. The Republican takeover of education the last two decades has not played out well for anyone but religious schools and the donors behind the charter school movement, both of whom have enriched themselves greatly at taxpayer expense.

  2. Unfortunately, the reasons behind high school absenteeism are much more complex than people want to accept. A lot of these students are trying to survive on their own due to other social ills affecting their family situations. The homeless numbers among youth are rising.
    Many have to also hold down full time jobs to help their single parent that may be holding down two jobs of their own. Criminalization and more lawmaker interventions are not the answer.
